Whats a great song that mentions a city?
I love the city of Chicago … it is one of the main reasons I tolerate the insanely rubbish weather and the insanely high taxes we have here. There are other cities I love to. (London … obviously) but I like some of the smaller ones as well. Kansas City is pretty cool, Louisville is fab … particularly around Derby time. San Francisco is amazing and if I was a millionaire who was not terrified of earthquakes I would totally live there. I have a real soft spot for Detroit as I went to University there and in recent years have been blown away at how many cool areas Detroit has (Eastern Market is totally worth a visit if you are in town.) I have been lucky enough to travel and Sydney, Australia is an amazing place and the people of Bangkok make that city pretty amazing.
So I have love for many places geographically … but I guess if I was choosing a song … I have to go with this classic because sometimes I do get the calling. I haven’t been to London in over a year but am popping across the pond in June so will be able to get my fix then.
So for tonight’s Music Challenge … I give you the legendary Clash with London Calling .
Now your turn … a song about a city … so many great ones to choose from!
